Statistics Committee looking for social parasites

It follows from a document that some Minsk residents found in their mailboxes.

“The National Statistics Committee of the Republic of Belarus carries out a household sample survey to study employment problems with the aim of collecting objective information on employment and unemployment in the country.

People answer questions depending on their age and social status. Employed people answer questions about their job and work activities. Unemployed people – pensioners, housewives, students and other categories – say why they don't work and give information about their previous work experience (if any),” the document says.

The Statistics Committee will collect information by interviewing Minsk residents. The document obtained by charter97.org says the interviewer will visit the respondent in a period from November 19 to November 23. Particular questions of the survey are not known.

The document is signed by head of the National Statistics Committee Uladzimir Zinouski.
